As the Iran-Israel-U.S. conflict intensifies, military planners are grappling with a growing cost and capacity dilemma in modern air defence. Iran has deployed large numbers of relatively low-cost drones and missiles, which can be produced in large quantities at a fraction of the price of the interceptors used by the U.S., Israel and their allies. Analysts note that it can cost millions of dollars for each interceptor missile fired to shoot down Iranian drones that may cost only tens of thousands, creating a resource imbalance in prolonged conflict

Trump Addresses as US-Israel War With Iran Continues

#Gravitas In a rare and major shift in its military strategy, the United States has deployed low-cost kamikaze drones modeled on Iran’s Shahed-136 to strike targets in Tehran. The development marks the first known instance of Washington using suicide attack drones of this type in direct combat operations against Iran.

The Shahed-136, widely used by Iranian forces and allied groups in regional conflicts, is known for its long-range, loitering strike capability and relatively low production cost. Analysts say the U.S. adaptation signals a tactical pivot toward cost-effective, swarm-capable unmanned systems designed to overwhelm air defenses and conduct precision strikes.

Crude oil prices surged 10% to around $80 per barrel following escalating U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran and warnings from Middle East leaders that prices could exceed $100 per barrel. Experts cite the closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a critical chokepoint for over 20% of global oil shipments — as the key driver behind the spike.

Futures trading remained closed over the weekend, but analysts from ICIS and Rystad Energy predict that sustained disruption could push prices as high as $100–$92 per barrel once markets reopen. OPEC has agreed to a modest output increase of 206,000 barrels per day from April, but experts say this will barely offset supply losses.
